gui_scripting.groovy

Feature Realization

This script is a comprehensive example showing how to build an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) within an OmegaT script using Groovy’s SwingBuilder. It scans the project for segments where source and target are identical and displays them in a table. Users can click on the segment number in the table to jump directly to that segment in the OmegaT editor.

Key APIs

  • groovy.swing.SwingBuilder: Used to declaratively build the Java Swing UI (frame, scroll pane, table).

  • project.projectFiles: To iterate through the project’s files and entries.

  • editor.gotoEntry(value): Called from the table’s cell editor to navigate the main OmegaT window.

  • TableCellEditor & TableCellRenderer: Custom Java Swing components implemented in Groovy to make the table interactive.

Important Constraints or Limitations

  • Educational Example: Designed primarily to demonstrate GUI building capabilities in scripts.

  • Project Scan: Performs a full project scan, which might be slow for large projects.

  • Swing Knowledge: Requires understanding of Java Swing and Groovy’s SwingBuilder for modification.
